Each week I create a 2-2.5 hour block of programming for the family to watch together over a nice breakfast. We call it Sunday Brunch Cartoons, and we’re nearly two years into it without missing a day. I’m releasing a full list of our watch queue, with the hopes that you can think of something really good (or memorably bad) that we should include.
No 70s Hanna-Barbera.

I found Freakazoid to be hilarious when I was in my teens, even though a lot of the jokes felt like they were written for my parents. It’s a fairly short series too, at least compared to a lot of the other kids shows.
It wasn’t a commercial success because all the adverts were targeted at too young an audience. It should have been presented for what it is, which is goofy and random enough for kids and genuinely twisted enough for grownups.
Freakazoid and The Tick have always been two of my favorite classics
I was worried they wouldn’t stand up, but if anything they’re even better now that I’m old enough to really delight in how strange it is.
I think The Tick was similar, if I recall correctly. I still loved it as a kid.
